The French capital, Marseille, has emerged as the dominant force in Ligue 1 this season with a commanding lead over its archrival, Monaco.
With a record of 26 wins from 27 games so far, Marseille has been unstoppable and is currently sitting atop the table with seven points more than Monaco.
One reason for Marseille's dominance is their strong squad that includes players like Thomas Meunier, who has scored 15 goals in just six matches so far this season. The forward has become one of the top goal scorers in the league.
Another key player is goalkeeper Laurent Blanc, who has also been outstanding this season with 44 saves to his name, while also having made three clean sheets.
Marseille's victory over Monaco in the Coupe de la Ligue last week was another major blow to Monaco's hopes of qualifying for the Champions League next season.
However, the team will be under pressure to continue winning games and staying ahead of rivals like Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) and Liverpool FC (PL). They have a chance to make it two victories in a row against PSG on Sunday, which could give them a huge boost in their confidence.
In conclusion, Marseille's dominance in Ligue 1 is a testament to their quality and determination, while Monaco will need to compete harder if they want to qualify for the Champions League.
